Speed Limit

The City of Portland is going all out to ensure drivers know the speed limit on Forest Avenue, and they're doing it in a really big way... literally.

In Maine, we have a need for speed. Nowhere is this more evident than on a particular stretch of road where you can push your speedometer to the limits.

It's so easy to go 5-10 mph over the speed limit, especially when you're on the highway. I was curious if going 10 mph over is illegal or not. Here's the details.

This really grinds my gears!

The data is out on crashes on I-295 since the speed limit was reduced in March of 2017 from 70 to 65 mph.

The Maine Turnpike accidentally listed the wrong speed limit on Twitter, and the commenters had a field day. Take a look.

The speed limit on I-295 from Falmouth to Topsham will reduce from 70 MPH back to 65 MPH on Monday, March 27.

The Maine DOT announced this week that on March 27, they will be returning the speed limit on I-295 from Falmouth to Topsham to 65 MPH. Based on the data they have collected, this is a smart move for everyone's safety.

The general rule of thumb is multiples of 5 for a speed limit. So why 19?

We got reports early this morning that some speed limit signs on I-295 from Portland to Gardiner had been changed from 65 to 70MPH. Later in the morning, Department of Transportation Commissioner David Bernhardt made it official.
